(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Twenty years ago, an important addition to food packaging was introduced to the American public 20 years ago: the Nutrition Facts label. This familiar rectangular box provides, in a standard format, important information about the nutritional content for most packaged foods. This label has influenced many companies to make their foods more healthful, and has been adapted by countries around the world. And FDA plans to propose updates to the label based on the latest science-based nutrition recommendations. Read this Consumer Update to learn more about the online resources that FDA has to help consumers use the Nutrition Facts label.
